Gunmen
Gunmen terrorising the Emuoha/Kalabari road in Rivers State have kidnapped five passengers in a commercial bus.
The incident occurred a few days after hoodlums killed a bus driver and abducted eight passengers along the same road.
It was gathered that the gunmen ambushed the vehicle on a bad spot around 8pm on Saturday, shot into the air and stopped the vehicle.
They were said to have immediately taken the driver and seven passengers into a nearby bush.
Rivers police spokesperson Grace Iringe-koko said the Command was yet to get a clearer picture of the incident.
Iringe-koko further said the Commissioner of Police had already called a meeting of stakeholders in the area to get to the root of the matter.
She said: “The CP has called stakeholders, including the local government chairmen and the anti-cultism. He has deployed anti-kidnapping and other tactical unit to comb the area.” (The Nation)
